Old Time Ship Models
Unlike most hobbies, ship model making requires few expensive tools.
Almost every household, no matter how small, harbors the beginnings of a fine model maker's tool kit.
The rest can be made,improvised, and bought as the work progresses.
Most important of all tools to the maker of ship models is his knife.
It may be anything from an inexpensive pocketknife to a high-grade wood carver's tool.
Price and handle style are unimportant as long as its blade is keen and has the quality of taking and holding an edge.
Naturally some simplification over the methods adopted by highly skilled professionals is essential, but, if the methods described are carefully followed in a common-sense way, there is no reason why the results should not in every case be highly gratifying.
In conclusion, a word on the thorny subject of accuracy in detail: much has been said and written on what was and was not done hundreds of years ago, suffice it to say that, at the best, the contemporary evidence is meager, much of doubtful authenticity; nor is every old drawing or print necessarily correct in every detail.
The Author has therefore endeavored to utilize what appears to be the most reliable and probable detail, and leaves it to others more skilled and experienced to determine the correctness and precise dates of individual features, hoping that he will be tenderly treated by those competent to criticise, who may perhaps be reminded that the book is an attempt to explain how to make old ship models, by one who has had many years' practical experience.
The methods described may not be the best, they certainly are not the only ways, but incontrovertibly they are practical ways; a statement that is substantiated by the three models which are specially dealt with in this book. These were made from the instructions in this book by amateurs with little previous experience, and it is their efforts that largely form the subject of the numerous photographic reproductions of the work in progress.

Contemporary models of old-time ships are nowadays very scarce and precious things; most of them have found permanent homes in the great museums of the world, others in the collections of wealthy connoisseurs.
Those that come into the market are keenly sought for, and when in perfect condition command very high prices. There are, on the other hand, a number of quasi-ancient models consisting in part of original work, with modern additions.
To the historian, the student, and the ardent collector the only models worthy of note are those made years ago by men who saw and knew the ships they modeled. Unfortunately there are not very many reliable and authentic models prior to 1700 or thereabouts; there are exceptions, for example, the Votive ship models and ancient Badarian and Egyptian models, some of which are 10,000 years old.
Recent exploration at Ur of the Chaldeans has revealed some interesting ship models, particularly a silver model of a boat circa 3600-4000 B.C., which is now exhibited in the Museum at Bagdad. The model, exquisitely made, is about 2 feet long, and has the characteristic high stem and stern posts, leaf-shaped oars, an awning stanchion amidships and five seats for rowers.
